You have responded to an old thread (the last entry was in 2008).
As for 18 to be a young age for diabetes, about 48% of people with Type 1 are diagnosed under the age of 20.

I think that may be the case for your particular 'brand' of Diabetes, but we’ve had quite a few parents on here with very young children (primary school age, and even below) who have developed Type 1.

You have to feel for parents who have to inject their little babies and toddlers multiple times a day and teens going through the difficulties of adolescence and also having to manage insulin usage. I am really grateful ? in a lot of respects that I developed it in later life.
